What makes cold hammer forging better for AR-15 barrels?The CHF process compresses the steel at high pressure, creating a denser, stronger barrel that resists heat and stress, leading to longer service life and better accuracy than traditional button-rifled barrels.2. Is this barrel compatible with my existing AR-15 lower?Yes, as a standard AR-15 platform component with M4 barrel extension and feed ramps, it drops in easily with compatible uppers, though professional installation is recommended for optimal headspacing.3. Can I use this barrel with suppressors?Absolutely-the 1/2x28 muzzle threads allow secure attachment of most AR-15 suppressors and muzzle devices, enhancing versatility for suppressed shooting.
